According to reports, Kriti Sanon was the first choice for Taapsee Pannu and Vikrant Massey starrer Haseen Dilruba; She turned down the movie for THIS reason.
Taapsee Pannu and Vikrant Massey starrer Haseen Dilruba has got immense love and attention from the film buffs of late. With glueing script and work details throughout the film, the film has become one of the top-notches.
The film’ story revolves around Rani who is not satisfied with her marriage to Rishabh and later finds love in Neel. But it’s not just the film’s direction and writers got the praise, but also Taapsee Pannu, Vikrant Massey and Harshvardhan Rane for brilliantly trailing out throughout the film. But to all’s amaze, Taapsee wasn’t the first choice for the film but it was Kriti Sanon. Yes, you read that right.
Taapsee herself confessed that the ‘Haseen Dillruba’ came to her after all options were exhausted. “‘Haseen Dillruba’ was a film I had a very gut feeling about the day I heard the basic idea from (writer) Kanika (Dhillon). Unfortunately, I wasn’t the first choice for the film and it came to me after all their options were exhausted,” Taapsee told IANS.
Now, as per the report by ETimes, actress Kriti Sanon had been approached for the role of Rani Kashyap. The report suggests that Aanand L Rai, one of the film’s producers wanted Kriti onboard. Not to mention, Rai had spoken to Taapsee during ‘Manmarziyaan’, and she was okay with it.
For reasons unknown, Aanand L Rai then decided to speak to Kriti. The Mimi actress heard the story but later developed second thoughts and got apprehensive since it required her to be bold on screen.
Meanwhile, Taapsee called the film a candy in an actor’s hand. “The good old saying that, if it’s meant for you it will come to you stands true for this case. It’s not just a beautifully written mystery, it has such wonderful characters, which is candy in an actor’s hands,” she said.
She added: “I am glad I got to experiment with my look and performance with this one because I am definitely not the go-to person for this kind of character conventionally, and we all love to take risks.”
Meanwhile, On the Kriti Sanon’s work front, Her recent release ‘Mimi’ got immense praised and love, which released today on OTT. Other than that a Pan-India film, ‘Adipurush’ with Prabhas, ‘Bachchan Pandey’, ‘Bhediya’, ‘Hum Do Hamaare Do’, ‘Ganapath’ and another unannounced project are in her kitty.
